Commissioning Of Green Buildings |
What is LEED™? The LEED Green Building Rating System™ is a
benchmarking and design assistance tool for building
owners, designers, and construction professionals. The
system recognizes and rewards choices that improve the
environmental performance of buildings, while serving
as a method to compare buildings of different types and
locations. LEED™ Version 2.0 is divided into six
categories that address different areas of a building's
environmental performance: Site Selection, Water
Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and
Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality, and Innovation
and Design Process. In each category, LEED™
contains credits that a building project can earn. In
most categories, LEED™ also includes a few
prerequisites, or mandatory features, that the project
must include in order to be considered for a
LEED™ rating. |
